im kinda set in my ways though i dont know much about the RUM calibers i do theyre big kick hard and burn lots of powder.
the biggest kicker ive ever tried was 300winny, i no longer have the rifle and have stepped up to a 3006 that handles my shoulder much better.
i kinda like small diameter bullets to.
from my limited exsperince the wsm's have just seemed to get along with me. atleast the small pill cases. ive never fired a 300fatty, it may more than i like.
i watched a guy shoot bout an 8" group at 100yds with 338win one time, actualy watched him do this several times. he looked kinda like rag doll be flung around like a cat. i think his shoulder was blood shot when he was done. veins popn out and red and blue all over.
i had pushed off few groups through my 25 and quit to watch him. he offerd me his 338 to try and i proply replied. i you bleeep bleeeeeeep bleeeeeeeep insane. i wouldnt touch that thing if my life depended on it.
a sore shoulder just aint worth it to me.
though if the range was longer than 500yds and the terrian was bubble flat then id pack aig caliber on my atv, weighing at 15lbs. i think rifles cant weigh over 16lbs and legaly be used to hunt big game with in our state.
ohhhhhh but the 8mmwsm does look interesting. interesting it is i just cant seem to find a use for anything bigger than my 3006 for hunting idahos big game.
i am by no means purposly trying to go out at shoot game at 500yds. ill by all means capable get closer if i can, but id like to have rifle caliber and shooter(me) capable if that is the only shot avaialble.
id like to have practiced practiced reloaded practiced, killed varmits like crazy practice. took deer at 100yds 50 200 300 400s getn real long, and possibly 500 when im ready.
i am prone to flinch the flinch was imbedded in me at young age by my dads 3006 and 270 that flinch is all but gone now at least i call it gone. i see big boomer doing nothing but bad for me. i fear the flinch as much as i do the pain
okay this is scareing me im gona go shoot my 22lr now.
